    4) In the same skillet, add both cans of sauce and allow it to come to a boil, mix together the water and cornstarch and add it to the sauce. Cook for a couple minutes, remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool a bit.

    5) Take each tortilla and quickly warm it up either in a skillet or right over a gas burner, set them aside.

    6) Add half of the sauce in the bottom of your pan and set aside.

    7) Take each toasted tortilla, smear a spoonful of sauce on each one, top with some of the chicken mixture followed by a little cheese as well, wrap like a cigar and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

    8) Continue the same step until all of your tortillas are rolled, pour remaining sauce over the top, sprinkle remaining cheese and bake them for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly .
